Before you quit your day job to be a SEO/SEM, please read my top 7 tip’s.
I rember way back when I took that dive into the world of SEO/SEM. It was mid 2003 and I was driving a taxi in San Francisco at the time. At that time I was big into the travel affiliate program game and I took a small loan (of $2,000) to pay (my current partner) to build me a “all city” hotel site and we crosslink the hell out of it. This was back in the days before any sandbox and when brand new URLs could get into the index and rank well pretty easy.
For anyone planning on going it alone and there online rev. is about as much or alittle better then what they make at work, here are a few Tip’s I we provide to try to help you make the right chose.
Tip 1. Never try to go into the online biz when you only have 1 site that you are getting reg. from.
Tip 2. Don’t even think about going it on your own if all your income is come from 1 source (namely adsense).
Tip 3. Do not under any circumstances go it alone if you are getting all your traffic from google.
Tip 4. Remember that you will have to pay taxes on your own when going solo and that has come back to hurt so many work at home people.
Tip 5. Make a plan on what to do next when you make x,y, and x amount of income. Diversity is everything when marketing online.
Tip 6. Plan to work hard and study harder to help your business grow. The last thing you need to do is start a successful biz online and then watch it while it grows and then fall’s due to any number of things.
Tip 7. Look in the mirror and ask yourself honestly, “Do I have the will power, strength and heart to really see this thing through the good times and bad. If the answer is anything less then a firm YES, don’t try to quit you day job just yet as its not for you…….
